Haze(UV) filters are wise
initial investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust,
moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. If desired they can be
left on the lens at all times for protection. Haze filters provide additional
benefits of correction for Ultraviolet(UV) light which can register on film and
videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details. Ultraviolet filters
allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees.
The UV-Haze filter is helpful when photographing mountain and marine scenes,
where increased haze threatens to make your photographs indistinct in color and
clarity.
